Chapter 25: Hu Zhenghe’s frame-up again!
Xiao Yan didn't know what to say when he saw this. After all, he did give Ye Youyue to...
But I can't blame myself for this, after all, she was the one who wanted to harm me first.
"cough!"
Xiao Yan's cough interrupted the joy of the two sisters' reunion.
"Youyue, why haven't I heard that you have a younger sister?"
"I remember it wasn't Hu Shanxiang..."
Ye Youyue knelt down directly at this time.
"Your Highness, this is indeed my sister. I entered the palace when I was three years old, and Youyou was only one year old at that time."
"It was only after I grew up that I asked someone to look for her!"
After hearing Ye Youyue say this, Xiao Yan felt relieved. At least this girl would not kill him with a knife.
"Okay, take her downstairs, and... change her clothes!"
It was only at this time that Ye Youyue noticed that Ye Youyou was wearing a night suit.
"Are you the assassin?"
Ye Youyou was like a child who had done something wrong at this moment, lowering her head and not daring to speak .
"You, I really spoil you. Let's go!"
Although she said so, Ye Youyue still had a doting look on her face, as they were her last relative in this world.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will take my leave now!"
The next day, parade ground.
Xiao Yan had been tossed around all night and had no sleep, but fortunately he went straight to the parade ground to cheer on his soldiers!
Li Guang was already ready at this time, just waiting for the time to come and set off!
"General, the Crown Prince is here!"
Upon hearing this, Li Guang hurried out to greet him!
"This humble general pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Xiao Yan nodded and asked, "Are you all ready?"
Li Guang welcomed Xiao Yan into the house and said, "We are ready. We will set off as soon as the time comes!"
Seeing that Li Guang was full of confidence at this time, Xiao Yan knew that Li Guang would definitely have a way to deal with it.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, so I won't say anything more."
"Protect yourself and return with your soldiers as soon as possible!"
Li Guang saw the sincerity in Xiao Yan's eyes and nodded heavily.
"Okay, it's getting late, get ready!"
Then he stood up and went to the command platform!
The soldiers have now assembled and are waiting for the order to set off!
It was very quiet at this time, but the fighting spirit in the air was reaching the sky.
"Soldiers, I won't say anything else. I will wait for your triumphant return !"
"Today I come to beat the drum for you to march forward!"
Then he turned around, took out half a tiger talisman from his arms and handed it to Li Guang.
Li Guang also took the other half sent by the Ministry of War!
The two were connected and merged into one, and Li Guang lifted it high!
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
The soldiers were in high spirits at this time, and Xiao Yan was also very pleased!
At this time, Xiao Yan also took the prepared drumstick!
“Boom!”
As the first drumbeat sounded, Li Guang gave the order: "Move on!"
Then, dense drum beats sounded and the army began to move, but Xiao Yan never stopped beating the war drum in his hand.
Only after all the soldiers had set out did Xiao Yan turn around and look at the departing dragon.
At the same time, a spy was also gathering information near the parade ground.
Court.
After returning from the parade, Xiao Yan went straight to the court without even taking a rest.
"I have a memorial to report to you. If nothing else, I will leave the court!"
As soon as Sande finished speaking, Hu Zhenghe stood up.
"Your Highness, I have received news that Wan Tongfu was corrupt and perverted the law when providing disaster relief. Here is the evidence. Your Highness, please take a look!"
Hearing this, those who had not gone along with Hu Zhenghe felt a jolt in their hearts.
This is retaliation and slander against loyal officials.
"Show it up!"
Xiao Yan naturally would not believe what Hu Zhenghe said. After all, he was the one who framed the loyal and good people.
Now it’s just a matter of grabbing a share of the credit!
This is understandable, as everyone wants to achieve great things, but framing loyal and honest people is absolutely not allowed.
Xiao Yan opened the memorial and frowned when he looked at the evidence on it.
It said that the disaster relief money was lost, but it was found at Wan Tongfu's residence.
"Your Highness, this matter cannot be underestimated and must be investigated thoroughly!"
"If disaster relief becomes a way for these officials to make money, what will happen to the disaster victims in the world?"
Xiao Yan watched Hu Zhenghe's performance quietly.
Wan Tongfu knew very well what kind of person he was, and he knew that this matter must have been framed by Hu Zhenghe.
However, without solid evidence, we cannot draw a final conclusion on this matter.
"You said that the lost relief money was found at Wan Tongfu's residence?"
Hu Zhenghe said solemnly: "It is indeed so. I dare not hide it!"
Xiao Yan nodded slightly and said, "Then how did you know the news about Wan Tongfu? You have deal with, but you keep focusing on this one thing. What do you want to do?
This is indeed too obvious. Da Zhou has to deal with a lot of things every day, but instead of dealing with anything, he keeps an eye on Wan Tongfu. This is indeed too deliberate!
"Master Prime Minister! Did the royal family raise you just to keep an eye on one person?"
"If you have nothing to do, then give up the position of Prime Minister. There are plenty of people who can do it!"
Xiao Yan's reversal of power caught Hu Zhenghe off guard.
"Your Highness, you were talking about Wan Tongfu's corruption, how did you bring it to my head?"
"Besides, as the Prime Minister, I have to keep a close eye on everything, and there can't be any mistakes!"
"Your Majesty, I am innocent!"
Xiao Yan ignored him and said calmly: "I know, you can get up now, there is no need to feel so wronged, could it be that I was wrong?"
"You know how many detentions are made every day."
"I will hand this matter over to the Royal Guards to handle, so you don't have to worry about it!"
Hu Zhenghe did not expect Xiao Yan to be so tough this time. It seemed that the confrontation between him and Xiao Yan had just begun.
However, although I am unwilling, I have no choice but to accept it.
"Your Majesty, obey your order!"
Xiao Yan looked at his ministers and said, "I don't have time to listen to your trivialities. You are all pillars of our Zhou Dynasty. Can you please think more about this country?"
"Who has another copy?"
At this time Liu Zhenghui stood up.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, our dynasty has emptied the treasury in the fight against the Xiongnu."
"If I don't replenish my silver, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything else!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan sneered.
"Good job, Liu Zhenghui. The treasury lost money before and we didn't find you, but you stood up on your own!"
"You just want money when you reach out. You are such a good minister!"
"Let me ask you, what is the scene outside the palace walls?"
Liu Zhenghui did not understand what Xiao Yan meant.
"Your Highness, outside the palace walls, people are naturally thriving and living in peace and contentment!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan sneered and nodded. This was exactly what he was waiting for.
"Well, since you seem to be thriving, then why can't the treasury collect money? Could it be that our Great Zhou has become so "strong" that it can't even collect taxes?"
"Or did the tax money go into your pocket?"
